Statute overview

About this statute

This article defines key terms used in the Convention. Each Contracting Party must promote simplification and harmonization of customs procedures and align with the Convention’s annex standards and recommended practices. This provision says the Convention does not stop national law from applying its own prohibitions or restrictions. Each Annex should include an introduction, definitions, standards, recommended practices, and notes. A Contracting Party that accepts an Annex is treated as accepting its Standards and Recommended Practices unless it notifies reservations. Parties with reservations must review them at least every three years, compare them with national law, and notify the results. Reservations can be withdrawn at any time by notification.
